Secrets Beneath the Antarctic Ice

There are many mysteries surrounding the Antarctic, and things are getting interesting! Scientists are just beginning to explore some of its many secrets - secrets which may affect the future of our planet.

I have put together some research - linked below - any additional information would be great

Your research page was definitely very well put together and informative. This has always been one of the subjects I am the most fascinated with. One thing that has always stuck out in my mind is Admiral Byrd's expedition, there is even footage of the unfrozen green areas in Antarctica from an old film of one of his expeditions made in the 1950s I believe. If you go to google video and search for 'The Secret Land' you will find the footage, it is about an hour long movie.

Interesting collection of information. I am curious, though. The link indicating possible evidence of ancient human civilization being present doesn't actually talk about that subject at all. Is there an article you are using as a reference? I would be very interested in reading that.

that was very nicely done, i wish there was 10more pages of that! nice job, S&F for you.

dedalive - I will check out that video - thanks

T Loman - I could not find any evidence of ancient civilisation - the temperate lake environment would have been conducive to ancient settlers - and I am very interested to see if any evidence will be discovered at any time in the future (with ongoing Lake Vostock exploration)

I did find a few links to suggest that ruins had been found - but I believe that they are Fake (no evidence of Atlantis TV)
- I have put one link below

The following article was found on Blacklisted news 20/04/09

Ancient Microbes found beneath Antarctica Glacier

"After analyzing the chemical composition of the salty liquid, isolating the microbes and analyzing their DNA fragments, Mikucki and her colleagues found several different kinds of microorganisms. Scientists believe they could be remnants of microbes from an open sea millions of years ago."

The following link states that Antarctica's ice is growing - not shrinking

This is contradictory to those professing the dangers of global warming

"A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded. "
